The first or­der of busi­ness for Con­rad Enill, T&T’s new High Com­mis­sion­er to Guyana, will be fol­low­ing up on a Mem­o­ran­dum of Un­der­stand­ing (MoU) signed be­tween T&T and Guyana on en­er­gy and agri­cul­ture.

Enill con­firmed this af­ter pre­sent­ing his Let­ters of Cre­dence yes­ter­day to Guyana Pres­i­dent Dr Ir­faan Ali at the Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent on Guyana’s Shiv Chan­der­paul Dri­ve in George­town.

A post on the Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent of Guyana’s web­site on Tues­day an­nounced the de­vel­op­ment.

Enill was an­nounced as T&T’s High Com­mis­sion­er in May.

The Guyana Pres­i­dent’s web­site stat­ed, “High Com­mis­sion­er Enill has sig­nif­i­cant ex­pe­ri­ence in the ar­eas of en­er­gy, fi­nance and busi­ness, hav­ing served as min­is­ter in his coun­try’s Min­istry of Fi­nance (2001-2006) and as the Min­is­ter of En­er­gy and En­er­gy In­dus­tries (2007-2010).

“On May 26, 1966, for­mal diplo­mat­ic re­la­tions were es­tab­lished be­tween Guyana and Trinidad and To­ba­go. Over the years, the na­tions have shared a very fruit­ful re­la­tion­ship.

“To en­hance and ex­pand this, they re­cent­ly inked an agree­ment to boost co­op­er­a­tion, which was wit­nessed by Pres­i­dent Ali and the Prime Min­is­ter of Trinidad and To­ba­go, the Ho­n­ourable Dr Kei­th Row­ley.”

Ali will be host­ed by T&T on a State vis­it next month, when this coun­try hosts Part II of Cari­com’s Agri In­vest­ment Fo­rum.

Row­ley at­tend­ed the in­au­gur­al fo­rum in Guyana in May. Guyana holds the lead on food se­cu­ri­ty in Cari­com’s struc­ture.
